It worked: in the Frisco, TX City Council run-off race, John Keating beat incumbent Jim Joyner. Keating supported a Tea Party petition to reconsider funding for the Collin County Arts Hall, approved in 2002, successfully using Joyner’s support for the arts as a political Achilles’ heel in the otherwise tight race. Although the Frisco city council rejected the widely-publicized petition on June 4, When asked if the tea party would prepare another petition, Tes Party leader Lorie Medina, said, “We feel like we made our statement.”
Keating wins Frisco
